"President Trump entitled his order “Restoring Names that Honor American
Greatness.” But the proposed “Gulf of America” appears to be a modern
political invention, Sledge said. For those who’d prefer to return to
white American roots—say, 1492 or so—there’s another option, Sledge
said.

When Columbus sailed into what we call the Gulf of Mexico, he believed
he’d discovered a new route to Asia. “He went to his grave thinking Cuba
was actually some sort of peninsula, an extension of Asia, and some of
those early explorers after Columbus called it the Chinese Sea,” Sledge
said. “So we could always go back to that.”"

Mexico threatens to sue Google for adopting "Gulf of America." China
could very well join the media name game and sue Google for not calling
the Gulf the Chinese Sea. If so, you concern on boundary has merit.

But calling or implying Taiwan as any kind of independent nation is a
totally different issue. To the extent that such mis-information could
block China's peace re-unification effort, it would not have boundary.
Many people would certainly lose their lives IF China is forced to
reunify militarily. If the US is involved and nuclear weapons used, the
casualties would be in millions.
